Abstract: |
This second phase of site evaluation comprised 28 trenches, undertaken to further test the results of the geophysical survey and expand the earlier evaluation of the site. Additional areas of colluvial deposits were uncovered, consistent with the geophysical survey and prior evaluation results. These layers contained occasional archaeological artefacts ranging in date from Mesolithic/Early Neolithic to post-medieval. Identifiable cut features were scattered, with the majority of the features located at the north end of the site. Recorded features predominantly comprised Late Neolithic to Middle Bronze Age pits. A ring ditch, probably the remains of a Middle Iron Age roundhouse, was associated with further pits of the same date - perhaps denoting the presence of a small farmstead. Single pits have also been dated as Roman and medieval, while several ditches of post-medieval date relate to the late land enclosure and cultivation of this location. |
